Hi,
Has anyone had their pouch disconnected and then reconnected again later on? Mine was disconnected and I currently have a loop illeostomy.

G-Day AJR, I had a J-Pouch for 18 years and could not wait to get rid of it, and no way would I ever go back to one. My Ileostomy is a life changer, I love it. Regards IGGIE

New ostomate, we’ve all gone through feeling low and depressed over your ostomy.
This is a pretty open group. Right now, in summer, it’s a low response time—lots of family things going on. If you need something, call out. Someone dealing with your situation will post something sooner or later.
It’s just that time of year.
Take care, and good luck.

Hello AJR
There would have to be a non surgical miracle solution before I would go back to a jpouch.
